Auto racing is definitely a sport. People tend to think "Oh they're just driving cars around, I can do that." A race car isn't like a normal car. The tires are about 50-100% wider than normal street car tires, the rubber is much stickier, the suspensions much more rigid for ultimate performance. Yes, they have power steering, but it isn't the soft, cushy power steering on your car. Most people never have their car anywhere near its limits, let alone at its limits for several hours in close quarters. The performance of a race car is astounding and the physical and mental ability to handle one of those machines successfully is pretty impressive as well.
